I really need to go to bed, but I just wanted to share this because I'm ridiculously excited.

I came out to my family last week via email, I needed to get all my words out in the order I wanted without interruption and I wanted them to have the time to think about it. I got two responses right away, my mom just asked if my partner and I are staying together; my oldest sister though, sent a scathing and rather cruel email. It hurt more than I'd like to admit, considering we aren't all that close, and I let it set the tone for what I expected from the remaining responses. I have never been more happy to be so utterly and completely wrong. My other sister and brother contacted me today and both gave essentially the same response: "I love you, we're family, I got your back, anything you need just ask." I was blown away. I was not expecting this.

On an amusing note, when my sister messaged me On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons was playing. I thought it was pretty fitting. x3

So! Uh, I'm pretty sure this goes here, but if I accidentally violated a rule or something, let me know?
I will not go quietly into that good night, but instead rage against the dying of the light.

Kinda mean of your oldest sister, great to know that your brother and other sister were supportive of you though :)

Thanks! I thought so, too.

As for my oldest sister, it's kind of expected. She has a history of overreacting and then apologizing. Doesn't change the fact that it hurt, but it does make it easier to get over and brush off.
